- 1959
Here are a few things that Americans were saying in 1959:
I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they
are, it is going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries
for $20.
Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be
long when $5000 will only buy a used one.
If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A
quarter a pack is ridiculous.
Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime
just to mail a letter?
If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to
hire outside help at the store.
When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would
someday cost 30 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off
leaving the car in the garage.
Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it
impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be
wearing their hair as long as the girls.
Also, their music drives me wild. This 'Rock Around The Clock'
thing is nothing but racket.
Pretty soon you won't be able to buy a good 10-cent cigar.
I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible
to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even
have some fellows they called astronauts preparing for it down
in Texas.
Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract
for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me
if someday they'll be making more than the President.
Do you suppose television will ever reach our part of the
country?
I never thought I'd see the day all our kitchen appliances
would be electric. They are even making electric typewriters
now.
It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few
married women have to work to make ends meet.
It won't be long before young couples are going to have to
hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.
I'm just afraid the Volkswagen car is going to open the door
to a whole lot of foreign business.
Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the Government
takes half our income in taxes. I sometimes wonder if we are
electing the best people to congress.
The drive-in restaurant is convenient in nice weather, but I
seriously doubt they will ever catch on.
There is no sense going to Lincoln or Omaha anymore for a
weekend. It costs nearly $15 a night to stay in a hotel.
No one can afford to be sick any more, $35 a day in the
hospital is too rich for my blood.
If a few idiots want to risk their necks flying across the
country that's fine, but nothing will ever replace trains.
I don't know about you but if they raise the price of coffee
to 15 cents, I'll just have to drink mine at home.
If they think I'll pay 50 cents for a hair cut, forget it.
I'll have my wife learn to cut hair.
We won't be going out much any more. Our baby sitter informed
us she wants 50 cents an hour. Kids think money grows on
trees.
